believe it or not
trust me on this!
the heavier the music,
the calmer I breathe,
the darker the road,
the better I see,
the farther the post,
the nearer I feel

my head is spinning
like a spring wanting to uncoil,
the wise name this nature
as wants and desires

questions hang their long faces
posing in front of mirrors,
reflecting on reasons for
why birds celebrate the birth of blue
and the mixing of the yellow
by their synchronised chirping,
the wise name this nature
as life and happy admire

yet, I am appeased only by
deafening sounds of thunder
slower melodies evoke
forbidden memories

photography is a good hobby
as good as any other one
but make sure that you do not
take pictures of the one you love
because love won't last more
than some of the photographs
the wise name this nature
as evil deed of technology

well, I prefer black to colour,
dark to light and night to day,
clarity of vision erases a blur
of the unforgettable divide

-!-

hello, my friends, it's been a while. I have come here just to pass my regards with this one, which is the only thing I have written in more than a few months. The river, I think, has truly run dry.

Thanks for being you,
Regards to all,
Sudhir

Sir.. I doubt the river dry... the current smay have moved beneath the surface, but the river still lives.

Nicely written piece...I enjoyed.

in gully of dry
lives a quiet well
beneath the rock
the tides still swell
soon to come
pouring forth
I've set my sail
you set the course...

The river is not dry
when you write words
that make us cry
for more.

And black absorbs all colors
of the spectrum.

Gentlemen and fair ladies!
My dear friends,
Thanks a great deal for your belief.

Hopefully, what looks dry is not barren, and I do intend to correct the correctables, collect the collectables, and tread on. All of you will see more of me and I will see more of you. That's certain.

Regards to all and thanks once again,
Sudhir
